Percentage of Load Pay

Good Morning everyone,
I posted last week about a crook (Johnny Jameson) that doesn't pay his bills.
We have now gotten a lawyer to try to get paid something for the 6 loads (5,700 miles) that my hubby ran over the past 23 days.

He was suppose to pay 25% of the load. It was my understanding that the 25% was on the gross not after his truck expenses. Was I wrong in my assumption? If he pays us after expenses it ends up at .11 cents per mile. If we go by gross its .35 cents, which in my mind makes more sense.

We just need to prove that assuming 25% of gross was reasonable. Anyone have any opinions?

This guy has burnt so many bridges that he can't find a driver to come get his truck out of my driveway
He told my hubby that he found a secure yard to park the truck and asked him to take it there - only 9 miles away - no big deal. Just before hubby leaves he calls the storage place and finds out that we are responsible for the storage bills if Mr. Jameson doesn't pay them - HAHAHA ... so the truck still sits in my driveway.

 

Unfortunately he just keeps changing his company name and hires a whole bunch of new drivers
We found out that he has 2 other drivers that he hasn't paid and they walked away from their loads. My hubby couldn't walk away from his because he felt bad for the customer ... At least his last load dropped 45 minutes from home.
